I’ve spent the last three months testing powered speakers with HDMI ARC in my living room, bedroom, and home office, swapping them between a Sony A95L OLED, an LG C4, and a budget Hisense U6. I ran each pair through movies, vinyl playback, late-night gaming sessions, and the same ten lossless tracks on Apple Music. […]

When I set up my second PC last year, I ran straight into the problem an audio switcher for multiple computers is built to solve: I had one good headset and two machines, and zero interest in crawling behind my desk to swap cables every time I switched. After testing ten different switches across my

After 45 days of testing 8 of the most popular Xbox Series X cooling stands with two Series X consoles (one in a closed entertainment center, one on an open desk shelf), I can tell you this category is not what Reddit threads suggest. The right pick depends on whether you need a quick fan

If your internet plan has outgrown the 1 Gigabit ceiling, or your Steam downloads keep saturating a single wired connection, the answer is almost always the same: you need a gaming router with 2.5Gb Ethernet. I have spent the last several months running 10 different 2.5GbE-equipped routers through iPerf3 wired benchmarks, multi-device Wi-Fi stress tests,

I’ve been hauling a Steam Deck on flights and long road trips for over three years now, and the battery anxiety never really goes away. Two hours into Elden Ring at 60Hz with the screen cranked, you’re scrambling for an outlet again. That’s why I spent the last 60 days testing eight of the most

I’m 6’4″, and I spent three years destroying my back in “race car” gaming chairs before I learned the hard way: the best gaming chairs for tall people are not the racing-style seats with the loud stitching and tiny bolsters. They are chairs with extended backrests (30 inches or more), deeper seat pans that actually

I’m 5’2, and for years I sank into oversized gaming chairs with my feet dangling like a kindergartner. After testing 30+ compact gaming chairs for this guide, I’ll show you the ones that actually fit short frames. The best gaming chairs for short people share three traits: a low minimum seat height (around 15 to

I have spent the last three months rotating through ten different floor gaming chairs for consoles in my living room, pulling them up to a 55-inch TV with my PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. After hundreds of hours across Halo, Spider-Man 2, and Tears of the Kingdom, I have a clear picture of

Living in a small apartment or dorm room doesn’t mean you have to settle for a cramped gaming setup. After spending the last 90 days testing compact gaming desks in a 10×10 bedroom and a narrow corner office, our team found that the right compact gaming desk makes the difference between feeling boxed in and

After 60 days of swapping RGB light bars across three gaming setups in our test studio, I can tell you that the difference between a forgettable desk and an immersive battlestation almost always comes down to one thing: how the light is layered. RGB light bars for gaming setups do three jobs at once, and
